CyberKnife Scheduled
Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be having the CyberKnife procedure done sometime Monday. This will be a very busy week for me as tomorrow I go see the radiation oncologist to get fitted for the mask and after that I go to have another brain CT done. This one will take slices every mm as opposed to every 5mm. Thursday, I get chemo and from there I go for another brain MRI and after that I have an appointment with the neurosurgeon. So I will get a call on Friday with the exact time I should be there Monday. I'm a bit anxious but not in a bad way. I'm just anxious because I don't know what to expect -- other than the brain met will be blasted into oblivion!
